Weddings at Chilleens on 17

The Venue at Chilleens is an all-inclusive outdoor wedding destination located in Black Canyon City, Arizona, north of Phoenix just off Interstate 17. Set against open desert landscapes and mountain views, the property evolved from the back of Chilleens on 17 — a well-known local barbecue restaurant — into a dedicated event venue under the ownership of Aleah Chilleen, who acquired and transformed the space beginning in 2016. Two event areas accommodate gatherings of different scales: an indoor banquet hall for up to 80 guests and an outdoor area for up to 200, with a combined maximum capacity of 280. The venue operates as a fully managed experience, with each wedding supported by both an operations coordinator and a day-of coordinator. All-inclusive packages cover vendor coordination, a five-hour open bar, cocktail-hour charcuterie, floral arrangements, and cleanup. The property includes private bridal suites and hidden photo locations designed around Arizona's golden-hour light. The venue also operates the Chilleen Dream Foundation, established in 2022, which provides complimentary dream weddings to couples facing cancer or life-altering illness.
